Models
The Cyber line included five very different models of computer:
- The 70 and 170 series based on the architecture of the CDC 6600 and CDC 7600
- The 180 series developed by a team in Canada
- The 200 series based on the CDC STAR-100
- The Cyberplus or Advanced Flexible Processor (AFP)
- The Cyber-18 minicomputer based on the CDC 1700
Primarily aimed at large office applications instead of the traditional supercomputer tasks, some of the Cyber machines nevertheless included basic vector instructions for added performance in "traditional" CDC roles.

Famous quotes containing the word models:
“The parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty—much naughtier than most children; point to the young people of some acquaintances as models of perfection, and impress your own children with a deep sense of their own inferiority. You carry so many more guns than they do that they cannot fight you. This is called moral influence and it will enable you to bounce them as much as you please.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“Grandparents can be role models about areas that may not be significant to young children directly but that can teach them about patience and courage when we are ill, or handicapped by problems of aging. Our attitudes toward retirement, marriage, recreation, even our feelings about death and dying may make much more of an impression than we realize.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
“... your problem is your role models were models.”
—Jane Wagner (b. 1935)
